Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

This is going to be so much fun!

It sure looks like it. I've been wanting to read Inkheart. Maybe I should pick that up when I'm done with Poisonwood.

The status is NOT quo.

Yay, yes!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I've been wanting to read Inkheart.

Yeah, it sounds cool!

move out and draw fire

I liked Inkheart quite a bit, although the DH did not. I couldn't make it through Inkspell though. I died of boredom.

The Water Mirror was quite good also, but doesn't resolve in one book.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Daddy long legs is one of my all time favorite books. I think my last copy fell apart. had the movie in my house or TIVOed a number of times, but couldn't watch it. Glad to hear my instincts were protecting me.

I haven't read Inkheart. I am wondering if we have enough copies for my book Club ... the next meeting for that is OCTOBER and I promised them Harry Potter 7 for that one. I want to read some grown up books in June!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Once upon a time, I had a Little House cookbook. Had the recipes for succotash and maple/snow candy and taffy and roast pig and johnnycakes. I wonder where the hell that went to?

Because books.

Oh my god, I think I had that, too!

I also had a Nancy Drew cookbook, which was ... a little more curious.

I took the Little House Cookbook out from the library, but I owned a Mary Poppins Cookbook!

I have a CD of Little House music, called Happy Land. It's really good, especially if you like old-timey ballads and folk music styles. It includes Captain Jinks (of the Horse Marines), Highland Mary, Barbara Allen, etc.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I had the American Girl cookbook. Then they split it up into little cookbook booklets for each character, and I think I had one or two of those that came with some other stuff. Then I think they stopped making them. There were some pretty good recipes in there, including a whole bunch that were really pretty complicated for a cookbook aimed at 10-year-olds. I couldn't make most of them without my mom helping. (It was one full meal for each character. For Kirsten, there was breakfast -- porridge and sausage and some other stuff. For Molly, it was the lunch she took to school -- a sandwich and deviled eggs and I don't remember what else. Both of those were relatively simple. But then for Samantha, it was a several-course dinner. From upper-class 1904! I remember that you were supposed to buy a piece of beef and have the butcher tie it for roasting. Never did make that recipe.)

It also had all kinds of interesting food-related stuff, like which foods from Sweden could be made with American 1854 ingredients for Kirsten, and things about food rationing during WWII for Molly, and all the new "scientific" foods like iceberg lettuce for Samantha.
